Week 4

Sister Of Notre Dame 

We started class with a little review of  the scientific revolution and then introducing the next part of    

history called the Enlightenment Period. We started to look more to Europe and used the reading 

about the two sisters that began Notre Dame De Namur. The reading talked about Julie Billiart and 

Francoise Blin de Bourdon on their lives and how they started Notre Dame De Namur. Julie came 

from a not to rich family while Francoise came from a wealthy family. both education where different 

as well with Francoise having a higher education then Julie. Julie also had to leave school to run her 

father's daper shop. Francoise  also helped her grandparents help care for the workers. I feel like both 

saw something in helping others even if they came from different economic backgrounds. Julie has 

the more heart warming story where she left and ran her fathers store and also teaching when she 

became disabled. she did what she could to give back. Francoise can also be respected for giving up 

the life that many may see as fantastic to help others. Its crazy to think that many of the bishops in 

France didn't accept their request so they had to move to Belgium.

Week 12

Chapter 21  In chapter 21, the book talks about the two main communistic countries that rose. These countries  were Russia and China. In the definition of Communism from Marx, there were only two ways to  make change to capitalism in where the people come together to reform or to violently act for the  change. however, for a Country to rebel and come communist, the country has to industrialize. This is  where Russia and China become interesting because they were not industrialized but rather more  traditional but were able to skip the step and become communist. The main goal for communism was  to have equality to everyone. This included women where they were given more rights then the other  countries that weren't communist. the chapter then goes into the Cold War where the two power  houses of the world were the Soviet Union and the U.S. the war was wars against other countries that  the two power ...

Week 13

Chapter 23  Strayer starting with the picture of a space view of the Earth has many meanings behind it. I believe  the photo represents how if we look from an outside perspective we are one, but getting closer we are  divided and have different views.  Strayer talks about Anthropocene which broken up means Human  Era. this Era is where Human history is also affecting Earths history. As humans are progressing, we  are creating products that are either destroying or replacing the Earth's material. We as a society is  playing the role of God and controlling what is made or destroyed. The prime example is our cars  where we are releasing pollution into the atmosphere. However, we are changing that by making  hybrids or fully electric cars. Humans are also recreating land masses like island, rivers, hills, and  many more. We have even built cities on top of landfills that hit its maximum capacity. The chapte...

Week 2

Chapter 13  In class, we talk with Europeans were starting to to explore and why they had an advantage. At first, I thought they were exploring to see what else is out in the world. In reality, they wanted to find a  better way to get into the Indian ocean trade. I then remembered back to learning about Columbus  and how Spain wanted to find a way to India for spices. I didi not know that the Indian Ocean trade  was also called the Sea Road even though it is self explanatory.  We then went on about how China  was unmotivated by going to The Americas because they were good where they were. Then it got to  the information that we learned in earlier years of schooling about the Native Americans. We then  went to discussion about Europe and if acted upon genocide to the Native americans. During the  discussion our groups I accidentally said Indians rather than Native Americans. I then corrected  my...
